— Why did you join this network?
I joined this network because I wanted to get exposure to something a bit more real than design theory or academics before finishing a MLA and entering the real world. I have also discovered a disconnection between local l.a. professional practitioners and graduate students. Land8lounge has been a good place to get quick answers to topics not even considered in graduate school.
— What specific benefits have you seen in your career since you joined?
Since I joined about a month an a half ago, I have been inspired to do residential l.a. work on my own, and expand on ideas for public space experimentation/studies.
— What intangible benefits do you get from membership?
At this very early stage of my membership I get inspired by some of the work posted.
— What do you hope this network will bring to your career?
I hope to learn more about the trends in the l.a. market, materials, good places to live and work, inside on some major l.a firms, and how to work more efficiently.
